Tea Leaves... (almost)

Contributed by Silent-No-More on Saturday, 25th December 2004 @ 03:16:31 PM in AEST
Topic: ambiguous



She is reading tea leaves
Instead of baking bread
She says it's a necessity
(not really, but yes -she said)
She’s considering the probability
That she’ll see a shooting star
Instead of balancing her checkbook
(Oh! The lies that we all are!)

[Break… BREAK… me]

whisper…
It’s here in hushed voice
That I exist now (mostly)
So many, so so many
Cannot really hear me

[Build… BUILD… blocks]

Pop… bubble; panic… rhyme
Silly little girl of mine
Pack the box with lemon paste glue
One more, two less… just you.
Put back what’s been taken out
Wrap in twine, tie all those knots
Give up then and return
(To kitchen stove, to oven burns)

[Think… THINK... now]

dare…
But if I could fly
On delicate (see through) wings
Then clearly, clearly then
I’d say most anything


[Close… CLOSE... enough]

I can't fly and I still say anything..but that's me..(smirk)
I can't write ambiguous poetry..but you do it beautifully. I never get it either.. you know that once I baked a pizza upside down..my grandaughter caught it..the cheeze was drizzling all over.. I don't to this day know how I did that. Anway this was beautiful...

*hugs you tons*
I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but I suspect Jarred is right. He normally is.
What I do know is that you have some amazing talent, and I wish I could make words work like you can.

Amazing write hunni,
Merry christmas.
*hugs* Phil xxx

good write, Snemmy.

Your brackets make me wonder.
I don't see them so often used,
but they remind me of Nuyorican stuff.

Very diffrent for you in style. This gives me that torn, meloncholy feeling.
The only thing I MIGHT disagree with is the very last line.

Oh, they grow so fast and we can never hold those moments. They are but a glimmer---like fairy wings---burned out quickly by the candle of time moving forward. Clench the precious memories as tight as you can for you will never quite see inside and never be as close was you long to be.

Bravo! *claps*

I can't stay to comment more, since my library internet time is about up (2:02 mintues and counting down), but, excellent work.
